Sisters of Mercy of St. Borromeo
The Sisters of Mercy of St. Borromeo are a number of female Catholic religious congregations sharing one rule and tradition.
==History==
They were originally a pious association of ladies formed in 1626 for the care of the sick in the hospital of St. Charles at Nancy, but became a religious congregation in 1652, after being generously endowed by the father of Emmanuel Chauvenel, a young advocate who had given his life in the service of the sick. The members placed themselves under the patronage of St. Charles Borromeo, called the "Apostle of Charity", and adopted the constitutions drawn up by Dom Epiphane Louys, Abbot of Estivals and Vicar General of the reformed Premonstratensians.
By the middle of the 18th century the congregation was in charge of numerous hospitals, and shortly afterwards took up as an additional task the Christian education of children. During the French Revolutionary period the members, although dispersed and deprived of their religious habit, continued their work so heroically as to win the encomiums of their persecutors. On 22 July 1804, they resumed their wearing of the habit, having obtained the approval of Napoleon, and were soon in a flourishing condition.
